However, he was interrupted by Seth Rollins and a war of words started between the two which led to a brawl in the following episode. The animosity between the two was on full display during the brawl which led to the announcement of the clash between the two.

While discussing wrestling for an audience and wrestling for television, Johnson asked Punk if he had a dream match involving a legend from either the past or from the current roster. The Second City Saint named Stone Cold and Bret Hart as his dream opponents, revealing the influence the two legends had on him.

“When they ask me that question, one name that always comes to my mind is Stone Cold Steve Austin. unfortunately, he had to retire because of injuries. Bret Hart’s another one. bret hart would be a dream for me because that’s a guy that I looked up to as a kid.” Punk said.

Punk also stated his intentions to fight the current Heavyweight Champion Gunther and ‘his boy’ Cody Rhodes who is the current Undisputed WWE Champion.

“There’s a lot of people that I would love to… I would love to get in there with Gunther, he’s a champion on RAW, love to mix it up with ‘my boy’ Cody (Rhodes)” Punk stated.
